28th amendment

I propose that the drinking age be lowered to 19 due to the amount of people drinking in colleges. I don't think it would be right to drink in high school because people need to be more dedicated to school and their sports teams if they participate on them. Once you graduate high school you are technically considered an adult and adults should have the right to drink if they choose to do so. Not all people go to college after school, plenty of kids begin working somewhere right out of school so why cant those people drink. I think 19 is the golden age for drinking, it is the right age for people in college to be able to drink and it is the appropriate time to drink for the people that go right into the working aspect of their life. Make the drinking age 19 because it is ultimately the most appropriate and it is the right thing to do to save kids from trouble in their younger years.

  1. A tricky thing. I some kids turn 19 in high school, so that would create a problem. It would make alcohol even more accessible to high school students.

  2. I disagree, why can't young people be just use there heads and not break the laws? This could also cause even younger kids to have easy access to alcohol. When you are 21 you are more mature then you would be at 19, this could lead to more drunk driving and possibly more deaths.
